Diwan Al-Mazalim (Grievance Board): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how citizens can use the Diwan Al-Mazalim to seek judicial review for grievances against government entities in Saudi Arabia.
The Diwan Al-Mazalim (Grievance Board) is a judicial body that provides a way for citizens to challenge decisions made by government entities.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to citizens who have a grievance or a complaint regarding the actions or decisions of government bodies.
What you get
You receive an administrative judicial review. This is a formal legal process where the board examines whether a government entity has acted correctly or unfairly in a specific matter.
What it costs you
While the process is a legal right, you will need to provide the necessary legal filing documentation required to submit your case.
The catch to know
You must act quickly. There are strict timelines in place, meaning you have a limited window of time to file your grievance after an incident occurs.
How to apply
- Identify the specific government decision or action you are grieving.
- Gather all relevant legal and supporting documentation.
- Submit your grievance through the official channels provided by the board.
